Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Your opinion

What is your opinion on Ben Stiller's behaviour in this movie trailer? Is a good illustration of MDD? Is it a bit far-fetched or inaccurate to your situation. What would you have Ben Stiller do In this video to better describe it to others. In my opinion I would show him pacing, whispering, gesturing in a private room especially to music and have him fantasize about the same scenes in his head over and over throughout the film. I would show him not participating in group activites or group discussions.

Yes. I love that movie but I never realized the relation until now. I would say for the pacing, whispering, etc those characteristics are unique to the persons' environment, personality, desires, and what they get out of it I guess.
